Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still
Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum is a combination of pot-stilled and column-stilled Barbadian rums that are initially aged in the Caribbean in ex-bourbon casks for 12-20 years. They are then transported to France for a second 12-18 months aging in small French oak casks.
The first bottle of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary was created for the head of Cognac Ferrand Estate Alexandre Gabriel to honor his 20th year running the company. This special gift has resulted in the bottling we see today.

Coconut, vanilla, caramel in one bottle! You have to taste it!
Smooth. Nice sipper. Also very fine with Cole for the faint of heart.
Very tasty, full body, spicy but very balanced. The one you are returning back to after experimenting with others. Great value. Always must have at least one bottle at home :)
I love rum, especially aged. One of my favorites used to be Zacapa Centenario. I tried this Plantation and it was a great surprise. Warm, round, pleasant, with a long after taste. Not cheap at all, but worthwhille.

Not a bad rum, but feels a bit uninspired. Flat body and not very complex. Not bad, but I expected more from this one.

I try to steer away from the dosed rums now, but if I have to pick one, it's this one, of those I've encountered so far. It truly is delicious, fruity, light and sweet. If you want to introduce your friends to rum, I'd go with this one over Zacapa. I still think you're supposed to move on from it afterwards, but I might dabble back into this some days I'm not looking for an adventure.

This rum is very good and the packaging, box and bottle, is genuinely magnificient. I drank it neat and it tastes a bit like coconut flavour at the end. Unlike most of the other ratings, I can't rate it above 7 considering the sweet taste which seems to be added.

A spiced rum, not bad, but for me the after-burn was a little too much. A clean taste, nothing fancy.

Первый нос - чувствовалась небольшая спиртуозность. Дал подышать и после этого спиртуозность пропала. Ваниль, фрукты

Havde meget høje forventninger, men de blev kun delvist indfriet. Duft var lidt spinkel og eftersmagen ikke særlig lang. Oplevede heller ikke en stor volumen i munden. Balancen var derimod fuldkommen. IMO en lidt sart rom til den søde side. Måske skal jeg bare lige prøve den igen en anden dag
Edit:
Har nu fået smagt den i et andet glas og må sige at der er mere i den end i første forsøg. Skøn rom og fantastisk balance!!
